Today I’m sharing my 3D Swap from our March Candy Hearts team meeting, which you can read about here. It’s really super simple. I used the Curvy Keepsake Box Framelits to make the box, and added a vellum butterfly. That’s it! Well, other than filling them with chocolates. Aren’t they pretty? They look like the butterflies are about to fly away with them.
Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- 2015-2017 In Color Designer Series Paper (DSP) to 6″ x 12″
- Vellum card stock (CS) to 3-1/2″ wide strips
- cut each die-cut butterfly in half, up through the body*
Die cut using the Curvy Keepsake Box Framelits:
- DSP cut with the box die (2 per box)
Die cut using the Butterflies Thinlits:
- *butterflies from Vellum – one per box
Assembled the box:
- two box pieces glued together at the bottom
- glued a butterfly half on each side of the slot, as shown – make sure this part gets closed last
- close three sides of the box, fill with goodies, then close the fourth part with the butterfly

Each month my team, the Candy Hearts, has a team gathering where we share information, have demonstrations and challenges, make projects, swap projects, play games, learn techniques, eat snacks, laugh a lot, and generally have a good time. This month we celebrated Easter, and had a 3D Swap.
Here are the 3D Swap items:

Butterfly card by Tamara Burton. Black money card by Margie Shippey. Mint Macaron large purse by Linda Krueger. Cucumber Crush box (see below) by Debbie Catlett. Butterfly Curvy Keepsake Box by Candy Ford. Clear box with Blossom on top and pink filler by Judy Newsome. Wisteria Wonder Window Box (see below) by Lonita Barron. You’re A Good Egg box by Missy Wiedeman. Rich Razzleberry small purse by Donica Williams.

Lonita even decorated the inside of her box!
Here are the Easter Baskets I made for each place setting:


Here are the cupcake toppers I made:

The cupcakes were from SmallCakes. Each was a different flavor, and they were delicious!

Sale-a-bration (SAB) is still going on but not for much longer. All SAB items are now available only while supplies last. The Card Tin is already sold out. So if you want something, order now! Today’s card uses the So Very Much stamp set on page 5 of the SAB first release brochure. It comes in clear mount and wood mount. And it’s FREE with any purchase of $50!
Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:

- Whisper White CS to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
- watermelon Wonder CS to 5-1/4″ x 4″

Stamped with the So Very Much stamp set:

NOTE: If you plan to send this card through the mail instead of hand delivering it, I would recommend putting another piece of card stock (5-1/4″ x 4″) in front of the card in the envelope. It will help prevent the pearls from poking through the envelope.
